Yes, you can certainly do this without using printf or sprintf. Number can be treated as string in perl. I will provide a simple regular expression solution since nobody has thought about it yet. ;-)
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $xx = 12000/1000; # wanted result is 12.0
my $yy = 12678/1000; # wanted result is 12.7 - rounded up
print "\$xx = ", rounding_with_regex($xx), "\n";
print "\$yy = ", rounding_with_regex($yy), "\n";
sub rounding_with_regex
{
my $num = shift;
$num += 0.05; # want to round up (as number)
$num =~ s/\.(\d).*/.$1/; # perform the rounding (as string)
return $num;
}
And the output is exactly as required -
$xx = 12.0
$yy = 12.7

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
